LG GB190 review

Network and connections
This is a GSM Triband device, which therefore supports frequencies of 900, 1800 and 1900 Mhz. However, it is not able to take advantage of UMTS networks. This model is designed to offer complete, albeit basic, functionality. It is therefore possible to browse the Internet, thanks to the internal GPRS modem and the WAP browser. The USB output allows the device to be connected directly to a home PC, but Bluetooth for wireless data transfers is not present.

Design and features
The LG GB190 presents itself with a simple and clean design, with a Candybar body and satin-finish surfaces. This way the feel to the touch is really good, as is the grip thanks to the rounded edges. On the front is the 1.5 inch TFT display, capable of displaying up to 65,000 colors. The dimensions of the device are compact, 14 mm thick for a weight of less than 100 grams. In the sales package only the earphones can be found as accessories.

Main features
The functions offered by the GB190 are absolutely complete, starting with the phone functions which include, among others, built-in hands-free, vibration, voice recorder and voice commands. There is no shortage of more common functions such as the phonebook for complete contact management, the calendar for appointments, the alarm clock, the stopwatch and the ability to write notes. As for messaging, the phone supports SMS text messages and MMS multimedia messages, while E-mail cannot be managed.

Entertainment and multimedia
The qualities concerning the entertainment segment are also worth noting. This LG is in fact equipped with an external camera with VGA resolution. It allows you to capture images or short videos when needed, without being able to expect high quality, however. The available memory is expandable up to 32 GB, via microSD cards. This way you can always have your favorite audio and video files with you, to be played with the dedicated multimedia player. Finally, the battery life is very good, about 350 hours in Stand-by.
